Characteristic | Camera/ Sound/ Mise en Scene | How we will show it |
Age - 15 | Mise en Scene - Costume - Setting | He is either wearing a school uniform or casual tracksuit bottoms, both typical for someone his age. Typical bedroom items of someone that age in the living room. |
Isolation | Sound - Dialogue | Throughout the entire scene he has no dialogue and does not make any attempt to engage with others. In classroom and hallway scenes, dialogue of those around him is muffled, shows he’s not engaging with others. |
Has been kicked out of his house | Mise en Scene - Setting | Sleeps on a sofa rather than in a bedroom, clearly is a regular routine, as he wakes up there at the start of the day and goes back to sleep there at the end. Could show bad relationship with family. |
Depressed | Mise en Scene - Body language, Facial expression Camera Sound - Music | Slumped body language and blank facial expression throughout. A lot of close ups are used, ensuring the audience sees his facial expression at different points throughout. Very sombre, slow music, reflects mood of the character. |
Insecurities | Camera | Looking in the mirror between shots with a blank expression. Also, the shot getting closer each time shows he could be trying looking deeper. |
Has acquaintances but not real friends | Camera | Shots of him amongst a group of other people (classroom and hallway scenes), he is visibly distressed but no one around him tries to reach out to check if he is ok. |
Interests | Mise en Scene - Props | Some things that a boy of his age would be expected to have in his room, such as an Xbox, and his alarm clock is football-themed. |
